Reclaiming Life’s Rhythm Beyond Pain

Ah Fun, a resident of the Kwai Tsing District, sustained injuries to her neck and lower back in a traffic accident several years ago. The injuries left her with limited mobility and persistent pain. Even simple daily tasks, such as using chopsticks—became a struggle, greatly affecting her work and everyday life. At her lowest point, Ah Fun felt overwhelmed by pain and once described her world as “completely dark,” as both her physical and emotional well-being suffered.

Through referral, Ah Fun connected with Health In Action and began receiving physiotherapy support. Our physiotherapists worked closely with her to develop a personalised treatment plan, addressing her pain gradually and safely. With consistent care and encouragement, her condition began to improve. As her pain eased, Ah Fun slowly regained confidence, independence, and hope for the future.

As part of her ongoing recovery, our physiotherapists encouraged Ah Fun to join the Health In Action Running Club, where exercise became an extension of her rehabilitation journey. Having no prior experience in running, she started with gentle warm-ups and short jogs. With guidance from trained coaches and support from fellow members, she progressed at her own pace step by step, building strength and resilience. Over time, running became not only a form of therapy, but also a source of joy and empowerment. She later went on to participate in various running events, challenging herself beyond what she once believed possible.

Beyond her personal recovery, Ah Fun has actively shared her experience with friends and encouraged others to seek support from Health In Action. She is deeply grateful for the organisation’s provision of free health consultations and rehabilitation services for underprivileged communities, which help reduce financial barriers and ensure that access to healthcare is not limited by means.

In 2026, Ah Fun successfully completed the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Half Marathon. Today, she uses her own journey to encourage others living with chronic pain to care for their bodies through movement and exercise, and to believe that recovery, no matter how gradual is possible. Through perseverance and support, Ah Fun has not only crossed the barriers of pain, but also reclaimed the rhythm of her life.

Ah Fun’s story is not an isolated one. Across our communities, many underprivileged individuals continue to live with pain and physical or emotional challenges, yet are unable to access timely and appropriate support due to limited resources. Your donation enables Health In Action to continue providing a range of essential services to those in need, walking alongside on their journey towards better health. We warmly invite you to support our work and help more lives regain health and hope.
